Ahoj!
I'm not that great an exporter - I supply DKB military needs, I suppose. I'm no. 3 world producer ATM, though. With some 8-10 bbl a year.
Like in OTL :)

IRL, Austria had some good oil fields running. Ask Borys for more info.

Like I said, i appolegise for not posting nor even updating the Encyclopedia Nautica. And will do so asap.

Again, I'm not alone anymore, and we like to be on 1 line, we 4 moderators.

Currently, I'm doing this on my own, and try to be as neutral as possible.

And I forgot, Indonesia has exploitable oil wells.

Nothing to say sorry for... I put a request for info out and I got it. Its a problem for new players is all.

But yes some type of general history of the game would be usefull.

Orange currently holds a protectorate over Oman.

I'm sorry not being able to supply a N-verse III history before mid september. I'm already on borrowed time at it is.

Next week I'll be in the UK, fighting the robots as a team member of team RCC.

RLF is what it is... Next week I have my fall class so I will loose out on time. This weekend I have extra time as I am stuck in bed. So I can hardly complain... too much about when it effects others.

Hm, lots of us seems to be off next week, I will be up north, visiting a friend in Kiruna.

Borys · August 24, 2007, 11:48:28 PM

Ahoj!
Yay, Kiruna!
That's where the iron ore mine is?
At the head of the Gulf of Bothnia, near the Artic Circle?
You lucky fellow! Putting your teeth into succulent reindeer - drools ...

I'm ditching sleep for a while it seems.

Just took the old N-verse history, editted a bit, and the general "known" history will be shortly online in it's seperate tread.

As people have talked about sources of oil for oil fired ships I am wondering do we want to formalize oil as a resource that needs to be tracked and accounted for? I think I asked this before in one of these two threads...

Nothing too complex I would assume but some type of system?

Bit early for that, after all, only a small fraction of any fleet is oil-fired. And in this period, bunker fuel is almost a byproduct in the refineries; the primary petroleum product is kerosene.

Well, it sounds like you are thinking about Luleå.
Kiruna is 260km north-west of the Gulf of Bothnia, 140km north of the Artic circel.

But Kiruna is the place of the great iron mine, in fact the entire "city" will have to be moved due to that mine. :)

Borys · August 25, 2007, 12:10:13 AM

Ahoj!
I mixed up the two, then. Lulea is the port then?

I have mixed feelings on this.
On one hand the amounts needed are small, on the other hand, if the DKB started running 6 oil fired battleships, I think I'd question that.

Maybe let us assume that in peacetime oil is readily available in whatever quantity necessary. War is a different mattter - everybody has stocks for 6 months. After or above that - write about it, pay for it ...

Persia is not an exclusive Orange supplier, there's space for other nations here.

However, keep in mind, that pre-1920, known (and exploited) oilfields were less numerous. Galizia, Baku (and smaller Russian field?), Abadan(Persia), Bahrein, Pennsylvannia, Texas, California, NOI, Venezuela and basically that's it. Iraq, Kuwait came later (30s). And the largest producer was the USA.

ya looks like im gona have to make nice with the csa =P, I was planing on building a large number(aka all)of my new ships as oil burners ><. This was mostly due to the fact i had Lybia, and thought i would have a plentiful supply available. Either that or i have to redesign my whole order of battle><
